Professor Ross should have been awarded with a Nobel prize for his contributions to economics and finance.

Sitting in the FREE whole symposium in MIT from Andrew Lo to Honor of R.C regarding to Financial Engineering. it ain't simple and easy to get understand the whole complexity of the financial technology. Well, I got a brisk idea and again got another homework to research at the end of the conference.... Double learning to myself. Again thanks for MIT to have this free Andrew Lo's lecturing.

OMG...Really??? Issac Newton also had a dip into finance??? Just knew he shifted from math into physics world. And I got ANOTHER EXTRA knowledge about Newton.... LOLOLOLLLL And he lost all.... LOLOLLLL... feel good. Even world renounced Mathematician also had benn beaten by the finance world. LOLOLLLLL.. At least we got a very eligible alibi to name him as my excuse each time.... Hahahaha

OMG... Thanks god, A.Low came back to lecture from the hint of the other commentator. Or, I wonder and doubt that majority of MIT prof talking like ear- twisting tone... LOLOL

Any chance of finding the rest of the lecture somewhere? The video cuts out before it’s concluded

1:25 who is the Bob mentioned here?

50:44 prescient

Good

And the difference between theory (science) and practice (engineering) one has seen in the example of Long-Term Capital Management - which did not go on for that long after all 😉

It is such a great honor to be a student of Bob Jarrow.

I am studying corporate finance book right now. I am from University of Dhaka . Frankly i am getting headache by this book. But i can't help but acknowledge the genius behind the creation of this book. Thank you for enlarging my analytical skills and giving me toughest challenges of my life till now.🙂

Robert C. Merton is a genius! He was in Venice few weeks ago. I attended his lecture and his thoughts completely illuminated me. A man we should all listen to. Great teacher.

This was great, I been tryin to find out about "master of science in real estate" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Yiyrianna Tonwen Theorem - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my partner got great success with it.

Arbitrage Pricing starts from 21:15

Terrific, thought-provoking lecture. It is definitely worth watching for the new approaches to solving the retirement puzzle globally.

Does any one have a clue on the paper S.C Myers is talking about concerning hidden leverage and real options on growth companies balance sheet ? It looks very interesting. I've played back like a thousand times this part of his speech without getting the author is referencing. Please , help !

It’s so refreshing and nostalgic for me to watch this video. Only Stewart Myers can say with authenticity that ‘Capital Asset Pricing Model needs replacement.’ 13:26. In 1994 when I submitted the early draft of my thesis on “strategic valuation of high technology companies,” he returned it with detailed comments on the problem statement highlighting the limits of CAPM. When I submitted the final version he asked me to summarize what I had learned. I said that the Real Option Models I proposed complemented CAPM, especially in technology environments characterized by managerial flexibilities. ‘You got it,’ he said with a big smile and signed off on the thesis cover sheet. It’s been over twenty years, and I am indebted for the unique intellectual experience he provided... Thank you Stew. I look forward to reading your autobiography.
